Animal Services

Mission Statement
The mission of Animal Services is to eradicate the spread of rabies among the county's animals, prevent rabies in the human population, and control wild, potentially dangerous animals in areas of high population density.

Fort Bend Animal Services can only keep unclaimed cats and dogs for a period of three days or 72 hours. To locate your lost pet, owners should contact all area shelters immediately before their animal is euthanized.
